Hi, I am interested in participating in this year's Google Summer of Code. One of my proposals is going to be to write and extend existing Haskell wrappers and API's for web services. Some of the popular web services that I use are Google Maps, Flickr, digg, reddit, Facebook and twitter, Quick google searches reveal that great haskell tools already exist for twitter, while there is an ongoing project for a Facebook API by Jeremy Shaw. I couldn't find any haskell projects for the other tools. I find this project interesting primarily because I use these tools and would like to have haskell interfaces to them. Along with tools like Happstack, these interfaces would extend the power of haskell for developing Web 2.0 apps and mashups. I would like to enquire about the community's opinions and interests in such a project. I would also appreciate any suggestions either pertaining to any other web services. I have created a ticket at http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1578 Thanks, Hrushikesh Tilak
